What is the world Cetacea Database (WCD)?
The core of the World Cetacea Database (WCD) is derived from the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), which in turn is based on several taxonomic references (Wilson and Reeder's Mammal Species of the World; Rice's Marine Mammals of the World, Hershkovitz' Catalog of Living Whales, Perrin et al.'s Encyclopedia of Marine Mammals, and others).

What order should a Cetacea be in?
Formerly considered an order, they are now included in the Order Cetartiodactyla (cetaceans and their ungulate relatives). The taxonomic rank Cetacea should have (suborder, infraorder, or something else) is not yet agreed; more molecular phylogenetic research is needed.

Should Cetacea have a taxonomic rank?
The taxonomic rank Cetacea should have (suborder, infraorder, or something else) is not yet agreed; more molecular phylogenetic research is needed. Taxonomic coverage of the database is limited to the living species, although one of them, the baiji or Yangtze river dolphin is possibly now extinct.

Where did the cetaceans come from?
The cetaceans arose deep in the artiodactyls (even-toed ungulates: cattle, sheep, antelopes, camels, pigs, etc.); their closest living relatives are the hippos. Formerly considered an order, they are now included in the Order Cetartiodactyla (cetaceans and their ungulate relatives).

The beluga whale is an Arctic and sub-Arctic cetacean. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the narwhal, and the only member of the genus Delphinapterus. It is also known as the white whale, as it is the only cetacean to regularly occur with this colour; the sea canary, due to its high-pitched calls; and the melonhead, though that more commonly refers to the melon-headed whale, which is an oceanic dolphin.
